Read a great article which said - "The best way to understand another country is to understand its sense of humour"

This is very true.. What may be funny to me , could leave you totaly non plussed.

So, Is this true and does it reflect on the culture also??

For example;

In South America, they make fun of vain, Argentinian men.

Joke:
A girl meets an Argentinian man on the street and asks him for a light. He pats his trousers, chest and back pockets. "Sorry," he says, "I don't have one but, wow, do I have a great body or what?"

Pakistan:

Robber: "Give me all your money."

Zardari: "Do you know who I am?"

Robber: "No."

Zardari: "I am Asif Ali Zardari, president of Pakistan."

Robber: "OK, give me all my money."

Mika and Ville are sitting in a cottage out in the middle of nowhere. They've been drinking continuously for three days and they finally run out of booze.

Mika says to his mate "Hey, go and look in the tool shed and see if there's anything to drink in there."

Ville comes back with a bottle of methanol, and says "We could drink this, but we'll go blind!"

Mika looks slowly around the cottage and out of the window, and says "I think we've seen enough."

So,,, what are your local jokes ????

Keep them clean please....

You might be a redneck if...

Your Christmas tree is still up in February.

You've ever been arrested for loitering.

You think that potted meat on a saltine is an hors d'ouvre.

There is a stuffed possum anywhere in your house.

You hammer bottle caps into the frame of your front door to make it look nice.

You've ever shot anyone for looking at you.

You own a homemade fur coat.

Your wife can climb a tree faster than your cat.

Your momma has "ammo" on her Christmas list.

You've totaled every car you've ever owned.

A Texan, a Californian, and a Nevadan were out riding their horses.

The Texan pulled out an expensive bottle of whiskey, took a long draught, then another, and then suddenly threw it into the air, pulled out his gun and shot the bottle in midair.

The Californian looked at the Texan and said, "What are you doing? That was a perfectly good bottle of whiskey!! The Texan replied, "In Texas, there's plenty of whiskey and bottles are cheap.

A while later, not wanted to be outdone, the Californian pulled out a bottle of champagne, took a few sips, threw the half full champagne bottle into the air, pulled out his gun, and shot it in midair.

The Nevadan couldn't believe this and said "What the heck did you that for? That was an expensive bottle of champagne!! The Californian replied, "In California there is plenty of champagne and bottles are cheap."

A while later, the Nevadan pulled out a bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. He opened it, took a sip, took another sip, then chugged the rest. He then put the bottle back in his saddlebag, pulled out his gun, turned, and shot the Californian.

The shocked Texan said "Why in the hell did you do that?"

The Nevadan replied, "Well, in Nevada we have plenty of Californians and bottles are worth a nickel."

Brit owned a pub in the London, and in the summertime a swarm of flies seemed to just hover over the buffet table. This had been going on for about a month.

Santa, the neighborhood mooch, walked in one day.

"I`m not giving you another free beer!" Brit hollered, as he noticed Santa.

Santa was not without a plan, however. He approached Brit and offered him a deal.

"I`ve been noticing these flies for the last weeks. If you`ll give me a shot, I`ll kill every one of them for you."

Brit gave him the agreed-upon shot. Once he had downed it, Santa got up and headed for the door.

"All right," he shouted, "send them out - one at a time!"

It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts - your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors :-))

Why did the Irishman drive into a lake? He wanted to dip his headlights.

Why did the Irishman drive off a cliff? To test his air brakes.

How do you confuse an Irishman? Put P.T.O. on both sides of a piece of paper.

An Irishman was holding up a bank at gun point. The teller said to the robber "Your Irish aren't you?", to which the robber replied "Yes how did you know?", the teller replied "Because you have sawn off the wrong end of the shotgun!".

A woman was sitting in the doctor`s office when he came in and said,'This isn`t a urine sample you brought in. It`s apple juice.'

'Oh my god' she said. 'I`ve got to get to a phone.'

'I must have packed the other bottle in my husbands lunch box.'

At the height of a political corruption trial, the prosecuting attorney attacked a witness. "Isn't it true," he bellowed, "that you accepted 10 lakh ruppes to compromise this case?"

The witness stared out the window, as though he hadn't hear the question.

"Isn't it true that you accepted 0 lakh ruppes to compromise this case?" the lawyer repeated loudly.

The witness still did not respond.

Finally, the judge leaned over and said, "Sir, please answer the question."

"Oh," the startled witness said, "I thought he was talking to you."

A man was brought in to the hospital intensive care ward, put in a bed, tubes coming out everywhere. A week later, another man was admitted, in a similar condition.

Both lay there, machines pinging, tubes poking etc. a couple more weeks before one of them had the strength to raise his hand and point to himself and say, "Bengali."

The other man signaled he had heard, raised his own hand, and said, "Punjabi."

This act tired them out so badly it was a week before the first summoned up the strength to say, "Calcutta."

The other replied in a weedy frail voice, "Ludhiana."

Once more, the strain was too much for them both and they passed out. Days passed before the first patient managed to again point to himself and say, "Asit."

Replied the other, "Santa."

A few hours later, Asit managed to point to himself again and rasp out weakly, "Cancer."

Santa responded, "Sagittarius."
